Description:	I have a list of 30,000 US companies from one database and i need to match those companies with our contact database of 70,000 company employees. Unfortunately the company names are frequently inconsistent. For example, "Ford" in one database will be listed as "Ford Motor Corporation" in the other file. I need someone to go through the list of 30k companies and see if there is a match in the other database. There frequently is not a match. Next, i need the person to pick the "best" match of employees once the company has been matched. We are looking for marketing people and the list of company employees frequently has many people, most outside of marketing. I would prefer to have an American or someone who knows business because they would be familiar with many of the US companies on the list. Secondly, I want someone who understands corporate titles--e.g., VPs are senior to Directors, who are senior to managers. Please bid on a dollar per hour basis. As i don't know how many hours this will take. Although I suspect it will be around 40 hours in total. Also, i need this to be done quickly, so please only bid if you can provide 40 hours in two weeks time.
